IS THERE A PARDON IN STORE FOR THEM, TOO?

Charles Krauthammer this morning at RCP about the Iranian hostage drama:

Iran has pulled off a tidy little success with its seizure and subsequent release of those 15 British sailors and marines: a pointed humiliation of Britain, with a bonus demonstration of Iran's intention to push back against coalition challenges to its assets in Iraq. All with total impunity. Further, it exposed the utter futility of all those transnational institutions -- most prominently the European Union and the U.N. -- that pretend to maintain international order.

You would think maintaining international order means, at a minimum, challenging acts of piracy. No challenge here. Instead, a quiet capitulation.

How magnanimous that Ahmadinejad has forgiven the hostages and released them! What a true statesman following in the steps of other great men of the people!

But, let's not forget all the other millions of Iranian hostages...Is Ahmadinejad intending to "pardon" them, too?



To understand the extent of the victory achieved by Iran in the GWOT (and I will wait eagerly for the Dhimmicrats in Congress to issue a warrant for my arrest for daring to using the banned term), you need to read this post.

SHAME AND HONOR (sung to the tune of "Sunrise, Sunset")

(Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs)
Are these the hostages we captured?
Are these the ones who just confessed?

I can remember in the old days
We were obsessed!

When did it get to be so easy?
Where did those Reagan cowboys go?

Now they give in without a struggle
Who would know?

(Mullahs)
Shame and Honor
Shame and Honor
No act of ours could be a sin;
We will humiliate the weak West
Through their dishonor we will win.

(Iranian Women)
Shame and Honor
Shame and Honor
We live just to serve
If we embarass our dear menfolk
Death is much more than we deserve.(

(Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs)
How can we twist this situation
To make us more powerful and strong?

We must induce the foolish infidels
To say they're wrong....

It is so natural to trick them--
submissive like good dhimmis all should be

(Iranian people--wistfully)
Is there a pardon that's in store for me?

(All)
Shame and Honor
Shame and Honor
No act of ours could be a sin;
We will humiliate the weak West
Through their dishonor we will win.

Shame and Honor
Shame and Honor
Islam means "submit"
Each time they give in, we will gain honor
This is a game we'll never quit....

Stay tuned for even more provocative and escalating behavior from Iran!
